5 weeks no fetal pole... Am I in trouble?

[Ella]

Hey girls

Just got back from my scan...

She said the fetal sack is measuring 5 weeks 2 days but there is no fetal pole at this early stage. Is this normal? I'm freaking out a bit. She said it is common but she wasn't a very nice lady and was pretty rude when I asked if I should be concerned "I've already told you its common."

Just need a bit of reassurance as I'm a little worried...

Hi hun, I had a scan at 6 weeks and there was no fetal pole, but a week later everything was there

Thank you the woman just wasn't interested in talking to me about it at all. I left feeling soooo upset!

try not to stress chick! ( i kknow WAYYYYY easier said than done!) sorry that the lady was not as nice and understanding as you would have liked!

Ella - Congrates hun. Totally normal for no fetal pole to be detected at 5 weeks. Don't stress hun

Yep.. as the others have said, no need to worry, it's completely normal. The absolute earliest you can expect a fetal pole is 6 weeks and even at 6 weeks, a lot of the time it still isn't detectable! All the very best.
